The Vegas Golden Knights will start goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury in net for Game 4 on Sunday against the Vancouver Canucks, the team announced. The game is the second half of a back-to-back, following Robin Lehner's shut out of the Canucks Saturday night.
Fleury was the team's starting goaltender for the majority of the 2019-20 season before the team acquired Lehner at the trade deadline. Since the beginning of the postseason, Lehner has started nine games while Fleury has started two. This will be Fleury's first start since taking on the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 of the first round.
Lehner has impressed during his starts, going 7-2-0 with a .921 save percentage and 2.08 goals-against average. Fleury won both of his appearances, compiling a .886 save percentage and 2.50 goals-against average.
Earlier last week, Fleury's agent Allan Walsh showed his disdain over the fact Fleury isn't playing by tweeting out an image of a sword with Vegas head coach Peter DeBoer's name on it stabbing through Fleury's back.
Both Fleury and Lehner downplayed the image's impact, ensuring they are focused on helping their team win a Stanley Cup.
